Factor the polynomial x2 + 18x + 81 as the product of two binomials

hram777 [196]

Answer:

$(x+9)^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the polynomial x^2 + 18x + 81 and are being asked to factor this into two binomials.

A rule that I follow is what two numbers multiplied make c (in this case 81) and when added make b (in this case is 18).

So what two numbers when :

A. Multiplied make 81

B. Added make 18

This would be 9.

Now that we have the answer, we can put it into binomials.

(x + 9)(x + 9)

Since these are the same, we can combine it and make it into one.

$(x+9)^2$

A^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2(a − b − c) − 3. (1) Calculate the value of 2a − 3b + 4c.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

$2a - 3b + 4c = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2(a - b - c) - 3$

Required

Determine $2a - 3b + 4c$

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2(a - b - c) - 3$

Open bracket

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2a - 2b - 2c - 3$

Equate the equation to 0

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - 2a + 2b + 2c + 3 = 0$

Express 3 as 1 + 1 + 1

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - 2a + 2b + 2c + 1 + 1 + 1 = 0$

Collect like terms

$a^2 - 2a + 1 + b^2 + 2b + 1 + c^2 + 2c + 1 = 0$

Group each terms

$(a^2 - 2a + 1) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

Factorize (starting with the first bracket)

$(a^2 - a -a + 1) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$(a(a - 1) -1(a - 1)) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1) (a - 1)) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + (b^2 + b+b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + (b(b + 1)+1(b + 1)) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)(b + 1)) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + (c^2 + c+c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + (c(c + 1)+1(c + 1)) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + ((c + 1)(c + 1)) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + ((c + 1)^2) = 0$

Express 0 as 0 + 0 + 0

$(a - 1)^2 + (b + 1)^2 + (c + 1)^2 = 0 + 0+ 0$

By comparison

$(a - 1)^2 = 0$

$(b + 1)^2 = 0$

$(c + 1)^2 = 0$

Solving for $(a - 1)^2 = 0$

Take square root of both sides

$a - 1 = 0$

Add 1 to both sides

$a - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1$

$a = 1$

Solving for $(b + 1)^2 = 0$

Take square root of both sides

$b + 1 = 0$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$b + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1$

$b = -1$

Solving for $(c + 1)^2 = 0$

Take square root of both sides

$c + 1 = 0$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$c + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1$

$c = -1$

Substitute the values of a, b and c in $2a - 3b + 4c$

$2a - 3b + 4c = 2(1) - 3(-1) + 4(-1)$

$2a - 3b + 4c = 2 +3 -4$

$2a - 3b + 4c = 1$
